A 2 base player can't really deal with it easily even if they know it's coming. | ||

I find this a bit preferable on maps like antiga where it's hard to hold roach ling aggression but very easy to assault their 3rd with immortal sentry. | ||

Below diamond just practice a basic 2 base all in, and adapting to situations. Dont use a build order, follow an idea of when/how you should be getting things and what your goals in the game are, you will need to do that if you plan on being successful at masters+ at any point in time. | ||

This is OK though. The whole point of this opener in PvZ is to prevent the Zerg from doing what he really wants to do which is endless droning. If you can force an early speed upgrade, the Zerg is sacrificing something. If you can force a bunch of Lings, the Zerg is sacrificing something. You don't actually have to attack and deal damage with your units...you can often just force the Zerg to play a "fair" game instead of growing his economy by leaps and bounds and that act alone is enough to make it all worthwhile. I often find myself using this build on the ladder and dropping the early Stalker pressure because the Zerg has done something to counteract it, but at least the economy is evenly matched. You don't *have* to attack or make Stalkers early if it's not going to work. The beauty of this build is you can follow up with pretty much whatever you want, and so long as you are scouting the Zerg and reacting properly then you should be in good shape with a good economy while theirs isn't light years ahead of you. | ||
